If youve ever heard of the term “e-sports”, this game is a prime candidate.
Its all about aiming, timing, reacting, and making the right decisions - and its HARD.
Bloodline Champions was created by an indie development group calledStunlock Studios.
While the game was in Closed Beta, it was picked up by publisherFuncom.
Thats the way its been ever since.
What makes BLC so centered on skill?
If you miss all of your spells, theres no one to blame but yourself.
Before each game, you’re able to choose from a pool of 25+ characters called bloodlines.
With that said, each bloodline has its own unique playstyle.
The official standard mode for BLC is a 3v3 Deathmatch Arena.
Fortunately, there are.
The matchmaking system does its best to match you up against players close to your skill level.
Anyone can join these tournaments and the winners are rewarded with in-game prizes.
Bloodline Champions is amazing for a free-to-play game.
You really can play this game and become a top player without ever having to spend a dime.
Bloodlines and cosmetic items can also be unlocked with Funcom points, which are purchased using real money.
Every 3 days, 4 of those 8 bloodlines rotate to something else.
This lets you get a feel for each bloodline without having the game become stale.
Not ideal, but reasonable for free-to-play.
Recently, the game has seen a resurgence in popularity, particularly with the introduction of the starter packs.
The playerbase is slowly increasing in size.
Dont be put off by BLCs currently small population.
The game itself is well-designed and an absolute blast to play.
My only warning is that you prepare yourself for the learning curve and be patient with matchmaking times.
If you could get past those problems, youll have lots of fun.
